St&obar;de vp o LORDE God of hoostes, thou God of Israel, to vyset all Heithen: be not mercifull vnto th&ebar; þt; offende of malicious wickednesse. Sela. ^noteLet th&ebar; go to ∧ fro, ∧ runne aboute the cite youlinge like dogges.

C   C&obar;sume them in þi; wrath, c&obar;sume th&ebar; þt; they maye perish, ∧ knowe þt; it is God, which ruleth in Iacob and in all the

worlde. Sela. ^noteLet th&ebar; go to ∧ fro, ∧ r&ubar;ne aboute the cite, youlinge like dogges. Let th&ebar; runne here ∧ there for meate, and grudge when they haue not ynough. As for me, I wil synge of thy power, &abar;d prayse thy mercy betymes in the mornynge: for thou art my defence and refuge in the tyme of my trouble.

Vnto the (o my strength) wil I synge, for thou (o God) art my defence, and my merciful God.
